Kakila Cooper has settled her claims against Takoma Park for a sum of $1 million after experiencing sexual harassment while working as a dispatcher at the Takoma Park Police Department. Cooper alleged that a sergeant harassed her during the overnight shift with inappropriate comments, requests, and actions. Despite her complaints, Cooper faced retaliation from other officers and the department. Her attorneys emphasized the importance of standing up against such behavior in the workplace to prevent others from facing similar harassment. Takoma Park City Manager Robert DiSpirito declined to comment on the specific case, stating that the matter was resolved through an out-of-court settlement. Cooper has since left her job at Takoma Park and is now working as a dispatcher for a different local police department. The settlement highlights the importance of addressing and taking action against workplace harassment to create safe and respectful environments.
